About Us

The San Francisco Public Utilities Commission provides retail drinking water and wastewater services to the City, wholesale water to three Bay Area counties, and green hydroelectric and solar power to our municipal departments.

The Water Enterprise is responsible for managing the transmission, treatment, storage and distribution of potable water to San Franciscans and 27 water agencies in three Bay Area counties – San Mateo, Santa Clara and Alameda.

The Power Enterprise provides green hydroelectric power from the Hetch Hetchy Regional Water System to municipal customers and departments in San Francisco, and the Turlock and Modesto Irrigation Districts.

The Wastewater Enterprise operates and maintains 993 miles of combined sewers for homes, businesses, and street runoff. Our three treatment plants treat the sewage and stormwater, reducing pollution in the bay and ocean.
